    Junior hockey tourney in Trenton so we stopped for breakfast. Server was great and the homemade corned beef and hash was spot on. Breakfast was cheap too! $12.xx for two meals and a cup of coffee.

    Broasted Chicken WOW a Downriver Classic bet you didn't know. So fortunate to have a few great Chicken places around, non tops this one. Great for Superbowl party 2 whole Broasted Chicken that's 16 pc . We have been regular customers since opening this place packin the seniors in who know a great meal on the cheap. Look at the great Meatloaf dinner with Soup or Salad n Bread Basket, too. Quite a few times each year, we get this Chicken Deal you just can't beat. You should call your order in an hour before needed, every order made fresh. A fantastic Special for any occasion just down the street from the closed Slotz Chicken, this could be your new favorite like mine. #southgategrill #superbowlfood #broastedchicken #cheapeats #chicken #meatloaf #downriverclassic #downriverfriendseat

    Tiny side of feta that was charged $3 for.. and what is that orange stuff? Thought feta is white!?
    Melissa F.

    Two customers in the restaurant and zero menu online. This should have been a red flag!! This establishment charged $3 for a tiny side of feta (most local is around 80 cents-$1.20) When I informed the owner I didn't want the feta any longer she proceeded to scream in my face telling me how much she pays for it personally at her home. Absolutely terrible customer service. I won't be back! Edit to add.. After I arrived home I discovered that my eggs are cooked WAY over done (ordered over medium the yolks are dry and over cooked.) My fries are so underdone that I put them in the air fryer at home for an additional 10 minutes and they're still under cooked.

    Grilled Chicken Salad w/ ranch plus nice bread to go along!
    Chris P.

    Excellent!! I always drive by this place and wanted to check it out! The salad was sooo fresh! Friendly service! I had the grilled chicken salad with ranch! I definitely will come back!!

    Good food - great prices!

    This is a diner. The food wAs inexpensive and cooked to order - the establishment needs a good cleaning and the waitresses need to stop crabbing and gossiping at the counter. The menu is extensive and I will go back because they charge a fair price for their food. They have a few TVs in here as well.

    Raw eggshells
    Abbey S.

    Absolutely sickening.. we ordered takeout, I got an omelette and there was a long, dark black hair intertwined throughout my entire omelette. As if this wasn't disgusting enough, we called in to tell what happened and they made me a new omelette(but only after accusing us of making this up and making us bring in the takeout food with said disgusting hair in it to show them for proof), brought the new omelette back home after picking it up. While eating the "new" remake omelette after the one that had hair in it, I began to realize was chomping on eggshells. By then I had already swallowed some of the eggshells. I instantly threw up and was absolutely shocked and disgusted.. Contacted the health department and they are inspecting. Super disappointing and unacceptable. "Linda", "the owner" accused us of lying about this and very rude when I called to inform her about what had happened. Southgate grill is filthy and despicable. This is unacceptable.

Friendly staff but it can get pretty busy. Parking lot used to be too small but it was expanded recently. Nice atmosphere and we are always treated well.

    Dangerous lack of allergy safety, zero empathy, and a complete liability!…read more Very sad because I came here with my husband a few weeks prior and the food was good, well, the breakfast was good that I ordered (apple french toast) ...his burger looked pretty Basic B. Actually, his words were it was "just okay". At the time, I thought it was his fault. Like, why would you order a burger at a breakfast joint? But whatever he doesn't like breakfast.. anywho I have 0 pictures from yesterday because I was so annoyed. It distracted me from pics but just imagine french toast with strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream , and (what we were told was strawberry sauce drizzled over it) I am writing this review because the level of negligence, poor communication, and awful customer service at this establishment is a massive safety hazard. My Sister and I were here yesterday around 1pm . We ordered some coffee drinks and chatted with the waitress a bit, she mentioned she had been there for over 20 years. So she worked there the under the previous names but same owners, Kikos and before that i cant recall the name . We decided to split the Very Berry French toast. My sister immediately asked, does it have raspberries on it? Because i'm allergic to raspberries. Waitress replies , no ," we don't even have raspberries here" I take a quick glance at the menu and notice that there is raspberry sauce on the Monte cristo. So I say , please make sure there's no raspberry sauce because I do see that on the menu and Just to reiterate , she is allergic to raspberries , so please make sure...and she said , no problem! Drinks come, were chattng , the french toast comes out, looks amazing. We each take one bite from each end. And we both look at each other bc we immediately notice raspberry taste. I immediately waved the waitress over to the table and told her we tasted raspberry, she said, "there's no raspberries in that, but if you want, I can have them remake it" she seemed annoyed. We were speechless , waitress then quickly left to have it remade u assume? Idk ! Even tho my Sis only took one bite and stopped eating, she still suffered an immediate allergic reaction including a swollen tongue and hives in her throat that lasted for days. My sister had to leave immediately to get medication from a pharmacy, while I stayed at the table to wrap things up. I Spoke to the manager and explained what happened, the response was completely unbelievable. Instead of apologizing, she defended the staff, saying, "She didn't do it on purpose, it's not her fault." It turns out the kitchen ran out of strawberry syrup and they substituted it with raspberry syrup. attention owners if you change an ingredient--especially a common allergen--you MUST inform your staff. Also, a server.. (especially one that's been around the block for like 20 years as she said) should know better- always write allergy alerts on the kitchen ticket. The manager offered to remake the food, but I told her, "No, please don't, she's probably not going to eat it, we don't trust you at this point." She brought out a remade plate anyway, so I started to box it up. At that point, my sister came back from the pharmacy and told me her throat was swelling and itchy really bad and we needed to leave immediately. I left the food. As we got up, I noticed they left a bill for our two lattes and only took off the French toast. We hadn't even had a chance to drink the lattes!!!!! We went up to the front counter to clarify since the manager said it would be taken care of. The cashier went back to talk to the manager, and I could see them arguing back-and-forth about it. At that point, I was so incredibly annoyed that I waved my money in the air and said, "You know what, never mind, I'll pay for the lattes." I told the cashier, "This is unbelievable. They literally poisoned my sister, but we are still paying for lattes we couldn'teven enjoy" I threw the cash down on the desk and walked out. They are incredibly lucky my sister only took one bite. Avoid this place at all costs if you have food allergies.

    I have been to this place a few times and never reviewed it, don't know why…read more When you walk in it definitely has a German theme to it. We decided to sit out at the patio cause it was a nice day. They had a band getting ready to play which was pretty cool. We ordered a couple cocktails I got a Peach Old Fashioned which was very delicious and boozy. As for an appetizer we ordered these Pretzel sticks which were soft and chewy and then the cheese that came with it was delicious. The burger I had was called "Fire Haven" it had onions, tomato and jalapeños on it with 2 hamburger patties, it had lettuce but I asked for no lettuce since we have this parasite going around the U.S. right now, The burger was quite tasty and very fulfilling, the jalapeño had a nice crunch to it and the meat was seasoned very well. I also ordered a German Dunkel beer which I didn't really care for, I thought I would like it cause I love dark beers but I guess I don't like German dark beers. Everything here was so good. We were able to seat ourselves, the waitress, who was also the bartender, serves us our cocktails really fast and just everything was spot on.

    We were visiting Dearborn and since I'm German, went to the Bierkeller with high hopes. Sorely…read moredisappointed. No bratwurst or wurst of any kind and single schnitzel offering. This is a German restaurant in name only. Service was sub-par. My party sat for 10-15 minutes before water was offered. Ordered appetizers and our dinners. Dinners came first followed five minutes later by appetizers. My order of Chicken paprikash was lukewarm and I could find very little chicken in it. I was so hungry I regrettably ate it that way. Waitress never checked back if everything was ok or if we wanted another round of drinks. I generously give two stars because the Weihenstephaner Dunkel on draft is a rare find and the German egg rolls are outstanding. Other than that, our visit was sehr enttäuschend (disappointing)

For example, I get the "Hearty" breakfast most of the time and it comes with eggs, meat, pancakes, potatoes and toast, and it really highlights what is this place's strength. Eggs: I get mine scrambled and have a nice selection of hot sauce to choose from. Meat: I appreciate that they offer turkey sausage since I don't eat beef or pork, but my wife loves their bacon if that's your thing. Pancakes: quality varies the most here as they are sometimes a little pale (but still good) but more often the idyllic golden one expects when ordering. Potatoes: lots of variety here, too, as my home fries come in different sized cuts with seasoning ranging from none to "no need for salt or pepper?" Toast: Again, wide variety of choices, I go with sourdough most often If this sounds like a lot of food, there are lots of other options that make it appealing to smaller appetites. But what I like about the "Hearty" is all the choices and the variation in style (probably depends on who's staffing the griddle) allows me to order the same meal and still feel like I'm getting some variety. Having said that, keep an eye out for the specials. They sometimes are tempting enough to get me to stray from usual. In addition to good food, the service is always friendly, and we've been back enough times to where I think every server recognizes us. Like I said, it's a favorite.
